The Myth-Busting Revolution: Why We Believe What Isn't True
Did you know that we use far more than 10% of our brains? Or that opposites don't actually attract? These are just two of the countless psychological myths that permeate our culture, shaping how we understand ourselves and others. These aren't just harmless misconceptions-they can lead to poor life decisions with real consequences. Someone who believes we repress painful memories might waste years searching for nonexistent childhood traumas. Those convinced that happiness depends primarily on external circumstances may look outside rather than inside themselves for fulfillment. Why do these myths persist so stubbornly? Our minds are naturally vulnerable to psychological misconceptions through several mechanisms. We notice and remember when two things co-occur (like strange behavior during a full moon) while ignoring when they don't, creating illusory correlations. We infer causation from mere correlation, assuming that if A and B are related, A must cause B. We reason by representativeness, believing things that look similar must be meaningfully connected-like graphologists claiming widely-spaced handwriting indicates a need for interpersonal distance. And media portrayals frequently exaggerate psychological phenomena for dramatic effect, while many myths contain kernels of truth that have been greatly overstated.
